Here's a video of me, or let's say my hands, drawing the poster of 'The Queen'. Being filmed while drawing is strange, I don't know if I'll do it again ... Anyway, here's the final state :
And there the video :

That piece looks like it would be hard to draw--there is a lot going on in it. I think you did it beautifully, and that you captured the Queen Mother quite well! I always love seeing her--but, in all honesty, TheTruth--you just cannot top the sketch of Diana and her brother. It is still my favorite piece!

But, that made me think--there is a photo portrait of Charles and Diana and the boys outside with a picnic lunch; Charles is in riding gear and Diana is sitting on a bench---it would make a wonderful sketch--let me see if I can find it.

Oh, I know this picture. I can try to work on it . Although, if you have the same but in a larger version, that would be helpful .

Queen Victoria was also a budding landscape painter. Here is her painting of twilight.

Notice that she probably didn't paint from photographs but from actual people and scenes so it was much harder.
